ABSTRACT Furcate cord insertion is a rare abnormality that characterized by the branching of umbilical vessels without protective Wharton's jelly prior to on placenta. Most cases are prenatally undiagnosed and still have favorable outcomes, but injury unprotected fetal can occasionally lead complications, such as vessel rupture demise. We present case spontaneous avulsion furcate during delivery, which consequently led hemorrhage required neonatal resuscitation transfusion. Our highlights...
To determine whether combination photodynamic therapy (PDT) and antivascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is effective in the management of chronic central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) recalcitrant to conventional therapy.This was a retrospective analysis eight patients with CSC unresponsive topical nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, focal photocoagulation, anti-VEGF alone, or PDT alone. All were evaluated full ophthalmic examination, spectral-domain optical coherence tomography...
Single fetal demise in monochorionic gestations the 2nd and 3rd trimester is associated with adverse outcomes for co-twin. We present a case of single gestation 1st evidence subsequent hemodynamic aberrations co-twin, supportive feto-fetal hemorrhage occurring early gestation. The authors report there are no competing interests to declare. All data generated analyzed this included article.
(Abstracted from Am J Obstet Gynecol 2024;230:87.e1–87.e9) Vasa previa is diagnosed when fetal blood vessels develop near or covering the internal cervical os and associated with high perinatal morbidity mortality due to vessel injury. The ability detect vasa prenatally has greatly reduced impact on by allowing for preterm cesarean delivery before rupture of membranes.
ABSTRACT Objective The objective of this study is to evaluate outcomes fetal sacrococcygeal teratoma (SCT) from an academic tertiary center. Study Design This a retrospective evaluating pregnancy and postnatal SCT management at single institution between 2006 2023. Results are reported as median (range). Fourteen patients with were studied. Hydrops fetalis occurred in 2 (14.3%) cases. Pregnancy course included expectant 12 (85.7%) palliative preterm induction 1 patient (7.1%). Indications...
Abstract: There is a paucity of literature on the physiologic effects hypothyroidism ovarian tissue. Although enlargement and torsion secondary to has been reported in non-pregnant patients, this phenomenon not yet described pregnancy. We report first case complication occurring pregnant patient. A 27-year-old gravida 3 para 2 presented at 29 3/7 weeks gestation with acute onset abdominal pain. Evaluation revealed severe maternal [thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) 213 µIU/mL free thyroxine...
<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> Spontaneous septostomy is a rare complication of multiple gestations. Related complications include cord entanglement and preterm delivery. Limited data exist to guide the management these high-risk patients. The majority spontaneous cases have been reported in monochorionic diamniotic twins. We present 2 occurring monochorionic/dichorionic hybrid twin gestation (chorionicity transitions from dichorionicity monochorionicity within placenta)...
